Download The Diary of Samuel Pepys: Volume I: 1660 - 1663 AudioBook Free
The Journal of Samuel Pepys is one of the most engaging documents in British record. Written between 1660 and 1669, as Pepys was building himself as a key administrator in the naval office, it is an intimate family portrait of life in 17th-century Great britain covering his professional and personal activities, including, famously, his love of music, theater, food, wine beverages and his peccadilloes. This Naxos AudioBooks creation is the globe premiere recording of the journal in its entirety; the result of a long time of scholarship by Robert Latham (Magdalene College or university, Cambridge) and William Matthews (University or college of California). It's been split into three volumes. Amount I protects the opening years of the Restoration and presents us to numerous of the key individuals - family, administration and royalty. Pepys was there when Charles II went back to Great britain, and he lived through those starting years of the Stuart monarchy, with its revenge on the regicides. He also noted the reopening of theaters, and how he laid back from the Puritan way of life.
